Claim: Leaked text of Notre Dame's honorary degree to Obama

Randall Terry claims someone leaked to him the official text of Notre Dame's Honorary Doctorate Degree to Barack Obama:

"At the 164th Commencement The May Exercises The University of Notre Dame Confers the degree of Doctor of Laws, honoris causa, on the 44th president of the United States, whose historic election opened a new era of hope in a country long divided by its history of slavery and racism.

A community organizer who honed his advocacy for the poor, the marginalized and the worker in the streets of Chicago, he now organizes a larger community, bringing to the world stage a renewed American dedication to diplomacy and dialogue with all nations and religions committed to human rights and the global common good.

Through his willingness to engage with those who disagree with him and encourage people of faith to bring their beliefs to the public debate, he is inspiring this nation to heal its divisions of religion, culture, race and politics in the audacious hope for a brighter tomorrow.

On Barack H. Obama, Washington, District of Columbia" (Christian News Wire)

Randall Terry is not a particularly reliable source, but the above text does seem plausible and much-in-keeping with the sort of verbiage coming from Fr. Jenkins' office in recent weeks.
